    the 2nd stitch of the chain 3.

Chain 3 and turn, *double crochet in the next double crochet, 
chain 1, repeat from * around, slip stitch to join in  
the 2nd stitch of the chain 3.

Repeat step 6 for as many rows needed for the length of the 
skirt, allowing 2 rows of grid for each row of ruffles.  
Fasten off.
Examples: 6 rows of grid for Newborn to 6 months; (will result in 
3 rows of ruffles)
         8 rows of grid for 6 - 12 months; (will result in 4 rows of 
                                                                     ruffles)

         12 rows of grid for 3 - 5 yrs; (will result in 6 rows of ruffles)
         14 rows of grid for 5 - 8 yrs; (will result in 7 rows of ruffles)
         16 rows of grid for 8 - 10 yrs; (will result in 8 rows of ruffles)
         18 rows of grid for 10 - 12 yrs; (will result in 9 rows of 
                               ruffles, add 2 more grid rows for each extra 
                               ruffle row.)
           As many rows as desired for all other larger sizes.

   otherwise there will be a row of holes in the finished skirt, see 
    photo 7)
   Chain 2, make 1 double crochet in the same space.  In each 
    remaining space of the grid, make 2 double crochet,                             slip stitch to join in the top of the first chain 2.
